Tumor and Tumor-like conditions causing painful Ankle and foot: MRI findings

ABSTRACT

Accurate diagnosis of non-traumatic causes of painful ankle and foot is important so that proper medical and surgical management can be applied. The purpose of our study was to report the efficiency of MRI in the diagnosis of these cases and to correlate MRI diagnosis with the surgical and pathological results. This study included 10 patients suffering from painful ankle region and foot not related to trauma. They were 5 male and 5 female. Their age ranged from 11 to 42 years with an average of 26 years. All these patients were surgically managed, and we found good correlation between the MRI findings and the pathological diagnosis
